Hello,
If I follow the steps that are included in the docs, when I compile Qt
out-of-source, some files (like the .qml ones) are missing from the
build directory.
What I'm trying to do is this:
First, I want to have a git clone locally, so I do
>git clone git://gitorious.com/qt/qt.git
then
>cd qt'
>git checkout v4.7.1
then I build out-of-source like this
>cd ..
>mkdir v4.7.1-build
>cd v4.7.1-build
>../qt/configure -debug-and-release (and my other custom options here)
>nmake
But in the resulting directory, the .qml examples are missing.. also the
directory takes > 10gb disk space
If I then do
>nmake install
the missing files seem to be copied fine (with them it tries to
overwrite also some of the existing files)
Is it true that 'nmake install' is not supported in windows? If so, why
is that? (The 'configure -help' command also does not mention anything
about -prefix option in windows)
What I'm trying to do is having (as much as possible) automatic
compilation of Qt (with the custom configuration we want), so all the
other devs can also begin developing with the same Qt configuration
after running a single script. I want to be able 'nmake install' so only
the files that are needed for compiling apps are there, I want to be
able to delete the v4.7.1-build directory to save their disk space).
